OD,
You do have interesting delimas. Breaking out of things are a much more "Texas" activity. I think you could use your Texas connection for that.
I'm here at the Mississippi Songwriter's festival. Got in yesterday, and went to the kick off party last night. This is MUCH smaller event than any of the others. About seven venues and only about 50-60 songwriters. All in a very tight location, around two or three blocks. So you can see a lot of the shows around.
My shows are all VERY LATE! 10:30-12:00. One tonight and one tomorrow. Then they have a huge guitar pull at this hotel that Elvis used to stay at. So it should be a lot of fun.
Will keep you apprised.
MAB
